The Darington Files: The Price of Power
In the glitzy haze of 1960s Los Angeles, millionaire Justin Darington trades cocktail parties for crime scenes. While his wealthy neighbors sip champagne, he delves into high-profile murders alongside the LAPD’s newest recruit, Katherine Butler. When she takes on the cold case of his best friend's murder, the stakes rise. Secrets lurk in the shadows, and the investigation reveals a tangled web of corruption that stretches into the heart of the police department. As tensions mount, Dare faces not only a quest for justice but also a battle for Katherine's heart. How far will he go?
The Darington Files: Shadow of Suspicion
Someone has it in for Justin Darington.
After solving his best friend's murder, Capt. Justin Darington is informed that someone has filed a complaint against him with Internal Affairs. At first, it's not a big deal. He's been investigated before due to his bank balance.
He takes the investigation in stride, but the humor quickly wears off. He has a dead movie star on his hands, a dead coed, a missing girl, and he's managed to infuriate the woman he was trying to win.
As he works the homicide cases, the Internal Affairs investigation shifts its focus from his finances to a more serious charge- fraternization. Now not only does he wonder who's out to get him, but he's also wondering if his career will survive the shadow of suspicion.
The Darington Files: Murder on Mulholland
When two inept art thieves break into a Mulholland mansion, they stumble upon more than just priceless paintings—they find a dead body. Enter Capt. Justin Darington, fresh from a glamorous party, who can't help but be amused by the duo's decision to call the police. But as he investigates, the laughter fades. With a widow, a nerdy assistant, and a fierce competitor all hiding secrets, Dare faces a tangled web of motives. Add in a missing Roman statuette and the stakes rise.
